How long does the awful smell last?

Wish I had a exact time when the smell is gone but it shouldn`t be too long because I haven`t noticed the smell anymore. I think it might have been less then a week. But you could always try putting it in the washing machine or fill the tub with a little laundry soap swish it around & let it soak for awhile , maybe that would help. Sorry if this doesn`t answer your question

Well, I must say that I didn't pay much attention to it so I don't really know. I have two bathrooms and maybe that's why. Perhaps you could spray a bit of room spray on it. I have a wax warmer in my bathrooms that I keep going at all times and it seemed to override that smell. - Hope that helps

I believe they say 48 hours but I left mine out for 24 hours and it was good to go with no smell.

No noticeable smell after 2-3 days. That may change if you leave it longer!?

The odor slowly fades away. We installed it in an enclosed compartment and the odor was gone within 30 days.

I'm just a fellow buyer not the seller so I don't know the expiration date, but I will tell you I sent this purchase back because mine smelled really bad when I opened it. Amazon was very good about accepting it back and giving my money back again. I don't know if this was a one-time problem or would occur again.

I have had mine for a week and there is a terrible industrial odor. Would not recommend.

I actually have no idea....still smells very strong after 30 days if that helps.

It doesn't last long at all. I'm very allergic to chemical smells myself & it went away quickly.

I don't know how long a bag lasts because I threw my out after trying it 3 times. The smell was terrible.

it depends on how much you put on. Yes the smell remains, I had people move away from me in public even after a shower. And if it gets on your clothes cause of sweat it gets into the clothes. It took me three washes to get it out.

I used these in my closets along with the damp rid closet hangers. They did get rid of odor and they do last around 90 days.

The smell dies down. There is still a slight smell at close proximity after continued use.

It usually lasts between 3-4 hours but the aroma strength decreases considerably with time. The first hour or so is very noticeable but it gradually emits less aroma the longer in operation.

Not really sure. I covered a post and let it sit for 24 hours in 80 degree weather. It continued to smell after 24. Less intense but still there. The post was buried and the smell obviously disappeared. I imagine the smell will go away eventually as time goes on. The question is, how much time?

About four to five hours. Also, the scent is stronger when it first runs and then less so as time goes on.

Yeah - basically this stuff is just industrial-grade mothballs. That's why it has that smell. It'll go away in about 2 weeks by itself - maybe sooner depending on the amount of rain. If it's real bad you can try to just hose it down to dissolve the crystals.
